Catalogue Note
"Melancholy and elegy are Kiefer's principal leitmotifs and inform an understanding of his work. But Kiefer's examination of grieving is oblique; he seeks metaphors for his profound sense of loss and for the ways this emotion is enacted. In particular, architectural monuments play a powerful role in his pictorial world." Mark Rosenthal Exh. Cat., Basel, Foundation Beyeler, Anselm Kiefer: The Seven Heavenly Palaces 1973 - 2001, 2002, p. 51
